Day 1
Washington, D.C.

We arrived safely in Dulles International Airport in Washington and are bedding down for the night in the local Comfort Inn.

Here we are in Halifax before clearing US Customs. We're all excited but it was hard leaving family. Our flights were on time. Just a moment of panic in Boston when someone on the team temporarily misplaced their passport -- but thankfully found it. Just too many zippers in these fancy purses that Connie recommended!

Tomorrow is our long flight from Washington to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, arriving Saturday morning and then onto Lilongwe.
